MechAssault Vs. Godzilla

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2013)

What a lot of us thought of when we played with our toys, I wasn't expecting this to be good, it was more of a 50/50 chance, glad it landed on heads (unlike a couple of movies this summer), because again, we see another blockbuster with visual effects as it's main attraction, Pacific Rim has has it-but it works incredibly well. It's an odd thing too, I always wanted to see a Giant Robot and Alien Monster beat the crap out of each other in a movie of this era, and not only do we now have a modern film of that subject, but it's actually good. I'm not going to go into details of what go's on in the story, so I will say it's an original bad- ass film, the cast was good-we see people he used from his other works like Ron Perlman (always a trip) and Santiago Segura, and new people like Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini etc. The story is simple as it needs to be, the human race sticking together to defend earth's civilization from colossal alien monsters with massive dual-piloted battle robots, and for once after countless sci-fi flops, this Sci-Fi follows it's story as it's told. As for what the monsters and robots look like, A.K.A. the Kaijus (Japanese for "Strange Creature") and the Jaegers (German for Hunter), they look kick- ass. The Kaijus look like Godzilla's lost array of evil cousins (I know it sounds odd but i'm geeking out right now), from Japanese inspiration, I couldn't expect more of a classic looking gang of sea-misfits than this. The Jaegers, Holy ****, I want one, I prefer these robots than most of the Bionicle-looking Autobots and Decepticons from Michael Bay's Transformers series, all of them have their own style to them, not to mention culture as well, and with the two battling each other, it looks Amazing. Realistic looking, half in half, at times there were shots where things would look real (like that one Kaiju destroying the Golden Gate Bridge, that scene were it grabs the bridge, that's frightening looking, that's a Nightmare), then at times you know it's very CGI, but you know, who cares, it's worth it. I'll lastly point out that most of you reading this are thinking, "It wasn't that great" or simply "It Sucked" (or you say this review sucks which I wouldn't blame ya my wording sucks), but for those over the top's, you reading this Film Critics, it's a movie for everyone to go to and enjoy, a Summer Movie, more importantly another Monster Great to add to Master del Toro's Collection.
